| MUKESH | |||
 |
Mukesh didn’t step into the glittering avenues of tinsel town by mistake ; he was destined to have his name splashed across the billboards by virtue of his talent and heredity. He comes of prime acting stock, being the son of O.Madhavan, veteran stage actor & director and Vijayakumari, a State Award winning stage artiste. His inborn aptitude demonstrated itself right from school , in the form of monoact, stage dramas and other art performances, culminating in his entry into films with ‘Balloon’ in 1982. His debut coincided with the Priyadarshan patented |
||
slapstick comedy phase in Malayalam films, a genre in which Mukesh fitted to a T . The 1990’s saw his stars on the ascent with a string of superhits such as, ‘ Ramji Rao Speaking’ ‘Godfather’, ‘In Harihar Nagar’etc which established him as a top romantic comedy hero. Posterity will probably classify him as a Super Star of Comedy. With his hilarious one-liners and unerring timing, humor is his forte but it would be unfair to confine him to this strait-jacket . For, Mukesh is an extraordinarily gifted actor, who can handle any role with aplomb and glimpses of whose potential we have seen time and again . |

Is he a dancer who is an accomplished actor Or an actor who is an exceptional dancer? is a question that has been foxing Vineeth’s admirers and fans for years. His dancing talents were recognized by Padmini, one of the famous Travancore sisters who saw in him the makings of a great dancer and urged his parents to initiate him in classical dance. He started training from the age of five, learning Bharathanatyam from Kalamandalam Saraswathy; he is equally well versed in Kuchipodi and Mohiniyattom. His mastery of all three South Indian classical dance |
||
forms earned him the coveted ‘Kalathilakam’ title for 4 years in a row at the Kerala State Youth Festival. Mr.M.T. Vasudevan Nair who sensed that he was a born actor persuaded him to take up acting as a career. He made his debut with I.V.Sasi’s ‘Idanilangal’ , establishing himself as a teen idol with the achingly sweet ‘ Nakhashathangal’. From then on there was no looking back. Other film fraternities were quick to welcome him ;today he has acted in more than a 100 films in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu & Kannada. |
